South Coast Slam - Classic Video Game Tournament

What happened to the Hyperball then?

That was awesome, but I must be getting old as I couldn't bloody keep up with it.

No mate, on Pinball news it showed the playfield glass smashed, that can be a really tricky thing to repair when there's slivers of glass everywhere.

WTF?... Rav told me someone poured hot coffee into the speaker of one of the pins also.

Vandals, should be lined up against a wall and shot.

Im hearing now that was a vicious rumour, but a cup of coffee did end up in a pin Ouch!

I was a bit suprised to see people wandering round with drinks in the machines area. I made sure I sunk my pints seated in the bar area.

I was playing Twilight Zone towards the end of the Sunday and heard the glass on the Hyperball go. Seeing as Dave was holding it at the time I don't think we can chalk that one down to vandals

Cool game too, hopefully it'll have all the glass vacuumed out of it and returned to service.

I suppose its a matter of common sense and trusting folk really - ie dont balance yr pint on top of game whilst playing.

Must admit I did spill a drink

....though in my defence I was suddenly grabbed to sort out a stuck ball on a game, put my pepsi under the machine only to have it kicked over by the little kid that was excitedly watching me get the ball out !

Glad to say the 8 pins I took along all came home safe and sound, just some grubby sweaty hand marks on the glass.

Cheers

The Hyperball info I got from googling makes it sound like a Gatling gun mounted inside a pin body? Have I found the wrong thing or do I now have a new object of desire to lust over?

 

[d-type]

Nope, you got the right one. You need extra fans on the gun body to stop it overheating.

Proper gaming!
